Video about the differences between silverfish and paperfish.

The video is about the differences between silverfish and paperfish, two insects that are often confused.

Although they belong to the same family, they have completely different requirements for their habitat.

Silverfish are wingless insects that can grow to 10 to 15 mm in length and are light-shy. They therefore like to hide behind skirting boards, cabinets, and paintings and can survive dry conditions.

Silverfish feed on carbohydrates and proteins and can damage wallpaper, books, stamps and clothing.

It's important to be certain that the infestation is actually firebrats and not silverfish or firebrats. In the event of an infestation, measures such as freezing and storing them in plastic containers can be taken, but in persistent cases, it's advisable to call in a professional pest control company.
